Analysis / Bias

In review, Washington Sources has a strong left wing bias as all stories favor the left and discredit the right. There is use of loaded language in headlines and articles such as: BREAKING: Trump’s Chief Of Staff Just Spilled The Beans On Resignation Story. Washington Sources generally uses credible sources to support their stories, however there is significant left biased opinions interjected throughout stories, which can be misleading. A factual search reveals some failed fact checks.

Overall, we rate Washington Sources Left biased based on story selection that always favors the left and Mixed for factual reporting due to lack of ownership disclosure and failed fact checks.. (D. Van Zandt 5/20/2018) Updated (7/30/2018)
